I need to write a for loop that performs the same calculation as cumtrapz. I have written this code to solve for the total trapezoid value but I am stuck on how to get it to work for for all the points of x.

But I already gave you the formulae how to code "cumtrapz":
0 = ctrapz(1)
[f(x0)+f(x1)]/2 * (x1-x0) = ctrapz(2)
[f(x0)+f(x1)] / 2 *(x1-x0) + [f(x1)+f(x2)]/2 * (x2-x1) = ctrapz(3),
[f(x0)+f(x1)] / 2 *(x1-x0) + [f(x1)+f(x2)]/2 * (x2-x1) + [f(x2)+f(x3)]/2 * (x3-x2) = ctrapz(4)
...
[f(x0)+f(x1)] / 2 *(x1-x0) + [f(x1)+f(x2)]/2 * (x2-x1) + [f(x2)+f(x3)]/2 * (x3-x2) + ... + [f(x19) + f(x20)]/2 * (x20-x19) = ctrapz(21)
Here they are again with the integration of exp(x) in [0 1] as example:
x = 0:0.1:1;
y = exp(x);
ctrapz = zeros(1,numel(x));
for i = 1:numel(x)-1
ctrapz(i+1) = ctrapz(i) + (y(i)+y(i+1))/2 * (x(i+1)-x(i));
end
hold on
plot(x,y-1)
plot(x,ctrapz)
hold off

You are calculating with floating point coefficients in two different ways. You are using == to test equality, which tests for bit-for-bit them being the same value (with the exception that -0 and 0 are treated as equal). Because they are calculated different ways, it is to be expected that they might not give exactly the same answer, that the last couple of bits might be different.
By the way, you can make the logic more compact:
if m == 1 || m == length(Q2y)
TotalTrapVal(m,1) = Q2y(m);
else
stuff
end
